By the end of the weekend, my ears hated me, my liver hated me, my sunburnt shoulders hated me.

They’ll get over it eventually.

Black in the Mind’s Jeff Young
This was a weekend of some of the best local music that central Florida had to offer and like many of the bands that performed, I was just getting warmed up for the upcoming 2 weeks.

The adventure started off with a trek across the state to Cocoa Beach along with Griz Collective’s Roy Kielich for a Friday the 13th show at the Sandbar featuring Orlando’s own, The Supervillains. Even the rain and a cameo appearance by a serial killer didn’t keep the boys from Orlando from skankin it out deep into the night.

After beaching off the night before, it was back to Tampa for a quick shower and another round.

For Letterperfect and Black in the Mind, Staurday night’s show at the Pegasus Lounge was the final tune-up before their gigs on the Ernie Ball stage at the Van’s Warped Tour. Letterperfect will be at the Orlando show at Tinker Field on the 22nd and Black in the Mind will be appearing at the St. Pete show at Vinoy Park on the 20th.

Also appearing at the Pegasus Lounge on Saturday was Tailgunner Joe and the Earls of Slander, Fall Empire Fall, Hatchetface and Frogmarch.

(note to self-when the afterparty is at your house do not leave cameras unattended around drunk musicians.)
